Identity Red Air Force losses to German night fighters SE Europe 1944?

[Theo Boiten]

Dear all,

During my research of the Nachtjagd War Diaries 2nd edition, I have documented a number of German night fighter claims for Soviet Air Force bombers shot down over SE Europe during the summer and autumn of 1944, which I have not yet been able to identify -who can help me in matching the following claims to actual Red Air Force losses. Especially details about the bomber unit involved & serial numbers of these Soviet a/c are of interest:
